Hopefully by the time this releases the general zeitgeist will have swung so far into based coomer territory that they'll slap a stellar blade ass on Ciri and reverse all the other tiresome modern dev trends.

I remember several people asked me to shamelessly insert her into my last porn game, so I anticipate the same for the vampire one.

Btw I didn't notice it at first but the trailer featured the creative EUrope media logo, which means that all Eurocucks are funding this shit, even if you're not considering buying the game.

Meh, the story about the dragon hunt expedition was going so well, but now Sapkowski wants to attack the paladin and paint him as a buffoon and a lunatic, which i knew he was going to but i didn't expect him to literally reference the Bible.

A bit on the nose bro. I guess Sapkowski is the kind of guy who likes to move Bibles in the fiction section of the book store.

BTW, given that Geralt is obviously his own self insert, that part about him bieng shunned with people going so far as throw rocks at him was clearly autobiographical. I mean i can only assume.

And STILL he did pay respect to the guy's military prowess. Granted, the knight got easily defeated by the dragon, but that was a very unusual dragon.

If it is true that they are using Unreal Engine now instead of RED Engine (either because all the who know how to operate it left, or because they decided it is no longer worth using), this would explain the differences between the models. They simply tried to recreate Ciri from TW3 in TW4, but couldn't make it 1:1, resulting in the Uncanny Valley effect.

Looks like a 50 year old who got a platysmaplasty while on her vacation in Turkey, supplements thyroid and progesterone, and haven't ate a carbohydrate since 1987.

The actual Ciri in the trailer looks like a disgusting fat swollen pig you'd see working the counter at a frog shop in pooland.

This is a cope. The difference isnt small, and its very intentional, they arent picking from a limited pool of presets, they are literally shaping it.

If you can call "she is looking like she had a plastic surgery" a cope, then I don't know what to say.

I don't care if you consider it small or big. It is nevertheless noticeable.

[...] and its very intentional, they arent picking from a limited pool of presets, they are literally shaping it.
I know it is intentional. You don't make a 3D model by accident. My point is that whatever they reasons were, they failed, even if the goal was "only" to make her older.

Either they tried to recreate her faithfully or they didnt faggot, you cant have it both ways.

Holy shit, 2019 has given us the worst posters around.

:retarded:

Thank you for proving yet again that you can't read. My point always was that even if they tried to do 1:1 recreation (assuming best case scenario), they still failed. I doesn't really matter if it comes down to a new engine or lack of skill or whatever else. And taking that as a cope of some sort is utterly idiotic. If anything, this is yet another point against The Witcher 4. Because, you know, the best case scenario turning out this bad is not a good prognostic for the future.

The fact that I have to explain all this to you speaks volumes about you (in terms of your ability to read English and logic in general). And I don't even need to say that 2013 was a terrible year for posters for something like that. It is just you who are an opinionated piece of shit.

they didnt faggot

You never said "if" before faggot, stop dodging and own up to your mistake.

No, it speaks volumes of your ability to communicate with people, faggot. You have had no issue understanding me, just explaining yourself.

Havent played games from japan in over a decade. You are desperately trying to discredit me because you are, in fact, wrong (And a faggot).

At this point whomever thinks that will be good is deluding themselves, we can agree on that.

I explained myself fine. It is you who can't accept the truth. But I will elaborate, since it is clear you need help.

I was making a conjecture on why Ciri could be looking the way she looks after seeing her aged-up model and recalling an information that CDPR switched engines (from RED to Unreal) and another one that suggested there aren't people left in the studio to handle the previous one. This could mean they needed to create a new model (I have no idea if it is possible to simply import it from RED to Unreal, mind you) and their recreation we can see in the trailer. This is under the assumption that they wanted to make a faithful model, because there is simply no point to discuss a bad faith recreation (so I didn't even bother to mention that scenario as it is obvious. But apparently not to some).

I mistook you for another poster with an anime image who had half of his post in the jRPG forum. I am not good at reading anime faces. Mea culpa on that front. You still can't read though. Or your English is so poor you have serious difficulties doing so, at best. And you're still a piece of shit. Fuck you, good sir.

You are such a dishonest little weasel. You are pointing to the if used when speculating about the change of engine, when in any engine, making the exact same face and aging it would have been easy for a good enough 3D artist. Thats why I called it a cope, because its obviously a stupid assumption to make.

Or your English is so poor you have serious difficulties doing so
My english is fine, faggot.

It isn't hard to recreate/move/convert 3D models between modern engines, besides we haven't seen the in-engine model from W4(?). Also you can't just botch it to the extend that you make 20 something looking girl feel like 40+ lol

Not being clear is not the same as being dishonest. What is truly dishonest here is your hypocrisy; not being able to own up to your mistake that you thought someone else was wrong. You made a mistake not understanding - because of your poor language skills - that I was making a one big hypothesis and now you're reaping what you sow. Everything in that post is one big "if". If they made a change of engine. If they tried to recreate Ciri model 1:1. And so on, and so forth. Just because I didn't bother putting "if" before each sentence (because I am not a lawyer by trade and I had more faith in people's intelligence and reading skills than I apparently should've) doesn't change any of that nor my original intent when I made that post. But you can't recognize that, because this would put you in the wrong. Well, keep trying to cope.

[...] when in any engine, making the exact same face and aging it would have been easy for a good enough 3D artist. Thats why I called it a cope, because its obviously a stupid assumption to make.
As I said before - I didn't know if it is possible to import model from one engine to another. In the same vein I had no idea if it is possible "make the exact same face" by hand (or however it is done). I also had no idea if they indeed even have "good enough 3D artist" left in their studio after the exodus to handle such task. So, yeah, it is all a long chain of assumptions (plural), one after another. Is it stupid? For someone with the knowledge about the subject it surely is. I am not disputing that. What I mean is that calling it cope was wrong (and I explained why before, so I don't think I need to write it again). It is simple as that. If you still can't understand that, you're truly the stupid one.

My english is fine, faggot.
